THE PREDICTION
A hard-fought 1-0 victory for Watford over Millwall last weekend was enough to seal promotion back to the Premier League for the Hornets with a seven-point gap currently between them and third-placed Brentford with only two games of the season remaining. The two sides lock horns here at the Brentford Community Stadium with Watford knowing that realistically, only three points here would be enough for them to potentially overhaul league leaders Norwich on the last day, providing the Canaries slip up at home to Reading. Brentford however, will have their eyes firmly on the playoffs and this may have an impact on their performance in this one, with Bees players prioritising the avoidance of injuries and not exerting too much physical effort at the risk of burning themselves out. With that in mind, consider the visitors to win here draw no bet.
